It's a good forum for people who know south Slavic languages. I don't have an account there but I sometimes take a glimpse. -
Yugoslavian Order of Precedence
BalkanCollector replied to Bryan's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
Here's a link to a great chart of Yugoslav awards: http://www.jugoslovanska-odlikovanja.com/index-jo.html Click on "Sezam odlikovanj SFRJ". It's in Slovene but it should be much of a problem since it has ribbons shown for every medal and order. -

BalkanCollector replied to Bryan's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
Because it's an ordinal number. I'm not sure what did the numbering system look like in Yugoslavia but today in Croatia we put a dot after ordinal numbers. -

Order of Yugoslavian People's Army
BalkanCollector replied to Bryan's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
I've never seen that a Private was awarded with such orders and I belive they never were. I've seen a few documented orders awarded to a non-commissioned officers but those were the lowest 3rd class awards. I belive that 2nd and 1st classes were only awarded to commissioned officers. These orders were also awarded to military officials (vojni službenici). Those were special ranks that were equal to normal ranks but didn't have a privilege of commanding the units during peace. There were 9 classes of those ranks, 1st was equal to Colonel and 9th was equal to Sergeant. The highest decoration that I've seen that was awarded to a military official was Order of People's Army 3rd class although I belive they could be awarded with the higher class. -
